Russell BrandEvery podcast appearance, updated as new ones drop

This week on The Ben Peterson Show: Faith for the Way Forward, Ben sits down with Russell Brand for a powerful conversation about finding Jesus, the spiritual battle for our attention, and the growing influence of artificial intelligence.Russell opens up about his life before Christ, from addiction and fame to New Age spirituality and searching for fulfillment in everything the world promised would satisfy. Despite success and influence, he realized none of it could answer the deeper spiritual longing inside him.He also shares the moment he encountered Christ and knew that Jesus was exactly who He said He was.Ben and Russell then explore one of the biggest questions facing Christians today: What happens when technology becomes powerful enough to imitate intelligence, manipulate attention, and make it harder to distinguish what is real from what is artificial?They discuss AI, deception, identity, culture, spiritual warfare, and why our relationship with Christ must remain at the center of everything.Russell puts it simply:“It don't matter who's in the White House. It matters who's in your heart.”And when it comes to AI:“The only way of thwarting the threat of AI is God.”WATCH UNTIL THE END - this story could change how you see pain, purpose and the power of redemption.

📖 Russell Brand's book: How to Become a Christian in Seven Days https://www.amazon.com/How-Become-Christian-Seven-Days/dp/B0GTW7RP17   Sponsor a child through Compassion International: http://compassion.com/dudewithgoodnews    In this powerful episode of The Jesus People Podcast, Ryan sits down with Russell Brand for a raw and deeply spiritual conversation about fame, addiction, sex, identity, surrender, and finding true intimacy with Jesus Christ. Russell opens up about what happened after experiencing the things many people spend their lives chasing: fame, money, sex, recognition, success, and influence. He shares how those things ultimately failed to satisfy the deeper hunger within him and how his journey through addiction, recovery, and spiritual awakening led him toward Jesus. This conversation goes far beyond an intellectual discussion about Christianity. Russell describes what he calls a "cracking open," the surrender of his old identity, and the realization that he could not fill a spiritual emptiness through drugs, relationships, sex, achievement, or the approval of others. Together, Ryan and Russell explore what it means to die to self, surrender completely to Christ, discover identity in Him, and recognize the difference between worldly success and true spiritual fulfillment. Russell also discusses his book, How to Become a Christian in Seven Days, and shares the message he would give if he had only one final opportunity to speak to his children, family, and brothers and sisters in Christ. Key Highlights: Russell Brand's journey from fame, sex, money, and celebrity to Jesus Addiction, recovery, pornography, drugs, and the search for fulfillment Why worldly success cannot satisfy spiritual hunger The difference between worshiping yourself and surrendering to Christ Identity, surrender, and what it means to die to self Russell's powerful "cracking open" encounter with Christ The importance of intimacy and abiding in Jesus Why Jesus must become greater while we become less The danger of seeking personal glory, approval, and recognition Russell Brand's perspective on Christianity and following Jesus Finding God in silence, prayer, surrender, and the present moment A powerful closing message and prayer for anyone seeking Jesus If you have ever achieved something you thought would finally make you happy, only to discover that you still felt empty, this conversation is worth hearing. There is nothing the world can give that can replace what only Christ can provide. As Russell says, the answer is not simply to intellectually believe in Jesus. It is to follow Him, surrender to Him, and continually turn back to Him.   Follow and stay connected: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ryan_miller/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dudewithgoodnews Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dudewithgoodnews/ Website and coaching: https://www.sharethestruggle.org/coaching-rm Email: podcast@thejesuspeoplemovement.org   Listen now on your favorite platforms: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0RLKmkUpydJr2y84tqQekp?si=8768039f3f5f4e38 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jesus-people-podcast/id1768632876 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/dac27441-bed6-4d73-9246-d2dbe93dccf0/jesus-people-podcast     #RussellBrand #Jesus #Christianity #ChristianTestimony #AddictionRecovery #JesusPeoplePodcast #FaithInJesus #ChristianLiving #SpiritualAwakening #SurrenderToJesus

🍕 Celebrate My 75th birthday with Slices Pizza, a Bottle of Franzese wine, and a Special Seat at my table!: https://franzesewine.com/75 🍷 Have you tried my wine yet?: https://yt.franzesewine.com/ 💪🏼 Join Franzese Family: https://michaelfranzese.com/family/ Russell Brand told me something in this conversation I wasn’t expecting — and I have to share it. He’s facing serious charges in the UK. He’s become a Christian. And the cynics are saying he’s faking it for the trial. I heard the same thing said about me my whole life. So I sat down with him and let him talk. We covered his new book, his faith, the dark side of Hollywood and Epstein, why Gen Z is finally turning toward something real, and the system he says wants every one of us “switched off.” Innocent until proven guilty — that’s where I stand, always. But what he had to say about culture, power, and Christ? You need to hear this one for yourself.

Jordan Peterson sits down with actor, podcaster, and commentator Russell Brand. They discuss turning to Christ, the benefits of orienting yourself toward a proper center (rather than centering yourself), how Donald Trump has shaken up the world stage, and what it means to cross the “edgelands” and make it back alive. Russell Brand is an English comedian, actor, activist, podcaster and commentator. He first established himself as a stand-up comedian and radio host before becoming a film actor. He presented for MTV UK and made appearances across media and TV (including a stint on “Big Brother”) throughout the 2000s. In 2008, he leapt from British to U.S. film acting, appearing in the hit film “Forgetting Sarah Marshall,” followed by numerous international successes. In 2013, Brand guest-edited an edition of the weekly publication the New Statesman, launching his interest and later career as a political activist and commentator. Over the years, Brand has changed in his thinking, from establishment advocate to establishment critic. His current podcast, “Stay Free,” sees Brand calling out major news, governments, and corporations for affronts to free speech, expression, and thought. This episode was filmed on January 10th, 2025. | Links | For Russell Brand: On X https://x.com/rustyrockets?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor On YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@RussellBrand On Rumble https://rumble.com/c/russellbrand Learn more about your ad choices.

Russell Brand (Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Revelation, Under the Skin) is an English comedian, actor, podcaster, writer, and activist. Russell joins the Armchair Expert to discuss how addiction is just amplified attachment, his tendency to use material means to resolve his spiritual issues, and his initial reluctancy about recovery. Dax and Russell talk about their relationship with women, their shared impulse to move towards chaos, and the importance of valuing your inner life more than your outer life. Russell explains how he came to find transcendental meditation, the role community plays in his life, and how our brains are a tangled fishing net.

Russell Brand is a hip bohemian Englishman on the path to enlightenment. And he likes the ineffable. Like, a lot. The decoders kinda like him too, despite the fact they really struggle to eff him at all. Really, Matt has no effing idea what he is babbling about most of the time, but Chris, being 'English-adjacent', seems to make a better job of it. Imagine smoking pot and talking big ideas with your precocious college room-mate at 2am in the morning. Now give him some methamphetamine, and you've got some idea of the fast-talking stream of consciousness that is Russell Brand. A pair of milquetoast moderates like Chris and Matt just aren't the right audience to properly appreciate the mystical anarchism that Brand advocates. It's probably got something to do with the limits of the bandwidth of their instruments of perception given that knowledge and wisdom are infinite and being-ness itself is.... Well, you get the idea.
